Or shepherd has is in washington d. C. For us to see says its hope that the lawsuit also forces the u. S. Government to provide more intelligence about a show just larder. There seem to be 2 main goals as was suggested in what we just heard that is one to get a Court Determination in the us saying that mom had been solomon was directly responsible for Jamal Khashoggi is death but also to get more information about the death theres still so much that we dont know we do know that authorities in the us of made the determination that muhammad bin solomon had bought some direct responsibility for the death of Jamal Khashoggi but what is that information the u. S. Government isnt releasing it and so what theyre hoping is that in the discovery face of this phase of the civil lawsuit more documents will have to be produced by the u. S. Government other governments around the world as to exactly what evidence they have which led them to the conclusion that there was as official responsibility for Jamal Khashoggi death and they feel that they have jurisdiction here in the u. S. To push the civil suit because of the that there is the victims accountability act i believe its called which which allows allows for us i know u. S. Citizens in the u. S. To file civil suit in u. S. Courts against those working for a Foreign Government deemed to have been committing torture when all other local remedies have been exhausted but also because they say this was a plan that was hatched and actually carried out on u.

The u. K. Is clearly in dangerous territory its just recorded more than 21000 new cases the highest daily figure so far and the devolved government in wales is bringing in a socalled fire break locked down on friday for 17 days the u. K.

Could argentina now the country is now only the 5th one to exceed 1000000. 00 confirmed coronavirus cases it is also the smallest nation to pass that mark and it comes the spy being one of the 1st countries in latin america to close its borders and bring in one of the worlds longest lockdowns so on wrong tell us of all reports now from when as this. More than 1000000 couvade 1000 infections and the virus is reaching some of the most remote areas in the world. Why you are is known as a city located at the end of the world and argentinas southern tip or thought is here are concerned so. We know that an argentine of this week we are going to reach 1000000 cases. Adding to those numbers since the regular positivity is on the rise and we have around 74 percent of positive patients and according to the sampling were talking about. From most wired to one a site is or thought these are trying to understand what went wrong argentina was one of the 1st countries in the region to impose a strict lockdown. But in spite of it infections continue to spread. The government. Virus with a lot. Of our increased for example the amount of class going by what the government. Is what gave them enough time to get. Ready for the more rough. But the explosion in cases has strained hospitals and health care workers. I would like this to end now i cannot continue at this pace and i think none of the others in my situation who are doctors like me in intensive care must think the same way i do all stressed so you can keep going you know. Argentina is also struggling with an economic crisis which is one of the reasons why many could not afford to stay home. Even though the government has increased cash handouts and aid money any leno at all says its not enough. The situation is very bad there are areas of the country where people queue for 3 or 4 hours to get a plate of food from the Community Kitchen the organizations are holding on at full strength since the beginning of the pandemic and one. The increase of a single kilo food by the state the situation is desperate its projected that in argentina there will be 29 percent unemployment and half the population poverty. The pandemic is having a devastating effect in latin america posing a major challenge to the economies and Health Care Systems in the region. And even though some governments took measures to protect the population on time the rise in cases show that in demick problems can pose a major setback when it comes to fighting disease. And deceit when a society. Or the brazilian government plans to include chinas Coronavirus Vaccine scene of attack in its National Immunization program brasilia has agreed to buy at least 46000000. 00 doses of the chinese vaccine and will begin a National Vaccination process as soon as january Immunization Program already includes a vaccine developed by astra zeneca and oxford university. But meanwhile a group of researchers and clinicians working on various Coronavirus Vaccines have joined forces to build confidence in Vaccine Development dr alan blinder is a bio engineer working on covert Vaccine Development at Imperial College here in london and a member of team a halo which youll find as a hash tag on twitter and various other platforms as so dr blankley thank you so much for joining us here on the or now id love to talk a little bit about the team halo sort of project which youre doing anything to make people more aware of what goes on behind making a vaccine but what is your fear behind the creation of this project to do you worry that people are not going to trust the vaccine. Yes so as scientists you know we spend actually a lot of time communicating to other scientists about our data but we dont usually have a lot of opportunities to engage with the public so were just trying to demystify what actually happens in the lab how do we make these vaccines as well as how do we test them yeah and i mean you do that very effectively i confess im not all tick tock because i think im a bit too old but i am on twitter so ive looked at your hash tag there and you have i guess doctors reciting poems about covert 1000 and vaccines people speaking or explaining it in different languages so portuguese for brazil it is very interesting to see that some sketches as well so youve really tried different approaches who are you appealing to most of all yes i think are really just appealing to anybody in the general public who has an interest in it and wants to learn more about it and i think as you said theres lots of different mediums to be able to communicate and scientists are just normal people so were just trying to you know use our creative powers yes so i guess one of the issues though is trust and differently to coronavirus with it weve seen other issues with vaccines several parents we not many but quite a sizable group of parents in various countries who refuse for example to give immunizations to their children for for they or own reasons do you fear that that may happen with the corona virus vaccine as well or do you think because the pandemic has been such a visible display of how damaging in the struck the viruses can be that things will be different its not going to be seen as just another vaccine. Yeah i think you know as scientists were also trained to be critical you know we want to see the data and usually only scientists are actually able to see this data so its actually a really great opportunity for us to be able to have a direct pipeline to the public and be able to discuss it and you know outcomes of the trial whatever they may be so what kind of feedback have you had so far. You know so we Just Launched today so ive been making to talk radios for about 2 weeks but yeah even today ive gotten some really Great Questions about herd immunity and mutations in the virus so its really turning into quite a conversation between me and the people that follow us on tick tock i know that i mean your project is quite a valid one and its interesting that definitely a new way of approaching especially young people but are you worried that there will be issues when the vaccine is finally released and especially maybe people were speaking in the u. K. People in the u. K. Not necessarily trusting vaccines developed in china say or russia because theyre seen as not having the same stringent methodology behind it do you see that that could be a risk. You know so it was something thats really important to us is having really high stringent testing of the back scene so in the u. K. Theres really rigorous Clinical Trials that we have to go through to be able to license a back scene so were a hearing to that protocol and you know i can only really speak from our experience in the u. K. But we do go through a number of safety and efficacy testing measures to make sure that its you know a good enough vaccine to distribute to the public ok dr blackly were going to leave it to there from the team halo and the ash tag team halo if im not right if im not wrong yes on twitter so people can check you out there and dont take talk thank you thanks very much. Now colombia has the ploy to more than a sows and policemen and soldiers to stop migrants crossing into the country from venezuela that number of crossings a surge those borders reopened following the pandemic after a rush to return home at the start of the crisis is that the sun the ramp reports now from the border the increase in security is not stopping hundreds of people trying to find a better life. Thank you long in police and soldiers on an Impossible Mission to block desperate venezuelans crossing illegally into the country. Formal entry points have been closed for months to stem the spread of coronavirus oakland destined trails are everywhere. As economies reopen across the continent a new flood of venezuelans is fleeing misery and hunger at home and inflicts made became to control. Its very difficult especially during dry months when they can cross almost anywhere the border has way too many homes. 5000 migrants entered colombia in just 10 days many paying belittled they had left to criminal gangs who profit from smuggling gasoline drugs and people on the trails. The palauans family had returned to venezuela at the height of the pandemic now theyre trying to make it back to columbias capital to look for work and food i. Continue walking with whatever help we can find food a lift anything that helps us in normal circumstances this bridge would see almost 40000 people crossing on a daily basis now its totally empty and the colombian government was planning to reopen the border between the 2 countries on november 1st but now fearing a massive influx of venezuela migrants are saying it cannot reopen it. The conditions are not in place to reopen and address the migration crisis it could be the most critical phase of the past 5 years and we must assess our capacity to attend them especially when we already have 2000000 venezuelans in the country close border is also impacting venezuelans who have lost work and are trying to go home their numbers of decreased in recent weeks some 930 still shelter daily in socially distanced camps in as well as allowing less than 200 enter on any given day the Un Refugee Agency says migrants are facing even worse humanitarian conditions than before defend them ik. I guess we need to respond to the reality on the ground it would be an error not to address these growing needs where working with the government to generate that response. Crisis was already one of the worst in the world is pushing migrants and those struggling to help closer to the breaking point. Lots more still to come on this news hour including.

The fiance of murdered saudi journalist. The Saudi Crown Prince in the u. S. The lawsuit alleges mohammed bin soundman ordered the murder in istanbul 2 years ago and around 3000000. 00 people in manchester will be moved into the u. K. s tightest level of coronavirus restrictions on friday italys Prime Minister has ruled out a National Lockdown but 3 regions there have added new measures. Postal votes in the u. S. President ial election will still be accepted 3 days after the election in one state following a court ruling the countrys Supreme Court turned down turned down an appeal by the republicans that would have limited the counting in pennsylvania votes postmarked election day or before will now be accepted in what could be a key swing state our White House Correspondent Kimberly Halkett says the issue of mail in ballots has become important during the campaign. Why this is such a divisive issue particularly along partisan battle lines has to do a lot with mail and voting typically democrats seem more supportive of that they have confidence in the mail in ballot and system donald trump on the other hand has said that its rife in rigged for fraud and as a result most conservatives choose to stand in line to cast their ballot voting day so the issue became that the republicans wanted to cut off when those mail in ballots in pennsylvania could be accepted on november 3rd but democrats made the argument that they should if theyre postmarked by the 3rd still be counted even if they come in 3 days late and so this is where the controversy has come in to give you an idea of just how much importance this campaign here at the white house places on pennsylvania back in 2016 around this time Hillary Clinton in the polls was ahead by 6 Percentage Points donald trump ended up taking the state this time around joe biden is ahead 4 Percentage Points so republicans believe they have a fighting chance even though joe biden is ahead in the polls in fact so much so thats why donald trump will be going to that state this evening to hold a make America Great again rally as he fights for every vote with we should point out 2 weeks until election day americas suburbs are said to be a key battleground in the president ial election they were key to Donald Trumps victory in 2016 helping him take key swing states like wisconsin and minnesota and as john hendren reports now from a wise out there just outside minneapolis the best so all of the george floyd in the city and the protests violence and Property Damage which followed could have an impact on voters. All of the suburbs were rolling lawns lead to expensive homes where scenic views meet shops quaint and common close to culture far enough from squalor idyllic havens of safety and middle income splendor but dont let the leafy tranquility fool you divisions here run deep these are the battle grounds where the u. S. Election will be decided in suburban minnesota a short commute from minneapolis George Floyds death under a Police Officers need led to raucous protests that divided a nation and many households. And probably for me it would be trying i like the idea of a republican not socialism and that seems to be the direction of the democrats and i think character is an important quality and. I think also we need someone who can unify and not divide it why President Donald Trump seeks to instill fear into the suburban heart if you elected this guy the suburbs would be overwhelmed with violence and crime and why joe biden is striking back how many suburbs will be burned in wildfires how many suburban neighborhoods will have been flooded out how many suburbs will have been blown away. Its super storms. Here one voters crisis of law and order is anothers calamity of social injustice and i have 100 percent support for the protesters and ive been doing my best to stay as active and be as involved as i can with it when trump won the suburbs in 2016 he won the election the math of midwestern battleground states is Pretty Simple the cities lean heavily toward democrats the rural areas lean heavily toward republicans most of these states will be decided in the suburbs the battlegrounds within the battleground states in pennsylvania michigan and Wisconsin Trump won the suburbs and narrowly won those states he won the suburbs here outside minneapolis to narrowly lost this state but there are signs of trouble for trump here white women for instance perfectly College Educated women growing really disenchanted with him in many ways so a lot of them are from the suburbs so yes overall they are moving away at least somewhat here in the land of 10000 lakes trump is no lagging biden in the polls but Trump Supporters know he also leg Hillary Clinton in minnesota in 2016 before nearly pulling off an upset victory john hendren aljazeera was out of minnesota the u. N. Secretary general says he stands ready to help gulf countries ease tension in the region speaking during a u. N. Security Council Debate on tanya pettish said he hopes the crisis crises ranging from the war in yemen to the ongoing dispute between katherine and the other g. C. C. Members can be solved soon in 2017 saudi arabia the u. A. E. Behind and egypt and close the sale and then they are. They accused of supporting terrorism and being too close to iran qatar rejects those allegations are diplomatic editor james bays as more now from u. N. Headquarters in new york. Well if you look at parts of the world where there is real tension and the risk of conflict certainly the gulf would be one of the major areas of concern and thats why the russians who are the president of the u. N. Security council convened a special session to look at the situation in the gulf to look at the war in yemen of course an active war going on the tension over the Iran Nuclear Deal between iran and particularly the u. S. Which pulled out of that nuclear deal the ongoing tension between iran and its arab neighbors and within the gulf among the arab countries the tension there in the blockade of qatar on all these issues the u. N. Secretary general said he was standing ready to help try and get some dialogue systems with the United Nations charter that may go with offices role i said ready to convene any form of regional belloc that may have the necessary go over what element obviously in all us will fully support efforts such as those launched by kuwait to promote their legacies of damsons within members of the gulf cooperation. I hope that these good results will at a time when unity is needed to address the message challenges facing the region now we have the russians who organized this meeting saying theyd like some new security arrangements set up in the gulf to allow there to be better dialogue between all of the countries concerned i have to say that was rejected out of hand by the us their ambassador kelly craft saying that there was one country that was to blame for all the tension and of course you can guess she was talking about iran and she said what had to happen was iran change its behavior no new arrangements were really needed.

Nasa probe is about to land on an asteroid 320000000 kilometers out in space for a delicate mission thats only been done once before if all goes to plan the oh cyrus rex spacecraft will touch down briefly on the surface of the benue asteroid and scoop up our own 60 grams of rubble from the surface it would make the United States the 2nd nation after japan to successfully retrieve part of an asteroid well amy thompson from space dot com joins us now by skype from orlando in the United States adam thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera so 1st of all explain to us its very rare would only be the 2nd time its happened if it works why is it so important to collect the sample from an asteroid what are you hoping to the sky for well asteroids are basically fossils so they have a record of the early solar system and give scientists an insight into how planets form and how they bring materials like water and other organics to earth and other planets ok so if correct me if im wrong but the only other time well this would be the biggest extraterrestrial samples that weve got since basically since the landings on the moon would you expect this to give us more information than even samples from the moon did. Yes thats correct so asteroids are basically as old as the solar system and they formed further out and sort of migrated end so these are the types of bodies that scientists believe brought the Building Blocks of life to earth and other materials such as water. I mean the way he moves makes the whole operation very complicated what do you think will be the hardest moment because it is due to happen in what the next half hour or so correct yes so based on early observations they expected the surface of the new to be very flat and sandy much like a beach well in fact its actually covered with rubble and boulders so thats going to be the really tricky part the Sample Collection head was designed to work on a flatter surface so if it accidentally lands on a boulder thats bigger then you know a couple meters its not going to be able to collect as much of a sample as it would be on a platter surface anything you can see sort of a kind of recreate it almost has like an arm that will reach out and try to collect that least the 60 gram sample but potentially even more. Correct so the arm is about 11 feet and its outfitted with a Sample Collection had that looks kind of like a shower head but acts like a vacuum so what theyre going to do is blast the surface with some nitrogen gas and then suck up the material thats disturbed and just that from your point of view what are the things that you would be most curious about when it comes to the sample assuming and hoping that it successful. Definitely like mineralogy content and what type of organic molecules are on this rock because there was a paper published and i believe it was science last week where the Research Team announced that they found a lot of organic molecules and it was more than they expected ok well it is due to happen i guess in the next half hour or so so interesting and hopefully everything will go to plan and we might speak to you again when we find out exactly what is in the sample for the moment i mean thompson from space dot com joining us from Orlando Florida thank you. The united kingdoms no tear of transition period with the European Union ends on january 1st with trade talks that blocked businesses and communities in the u. K. Have little idea what to expect in the next year in the county of kent the nearest point to all of the u. K. To france local communities are preparing for the chaos of border checks made worse of course during a pandemic jonah hole has more. Ive concluded that we should get ready for january the 1st with the rangelands that are more like australias. First as if they havent been through enough already towns communities businesses theyve seen deadlines missed and deals made only to find themselves wondering again when breaks it ends and a Bright Future begins it is an unprecedented situation so weve had the worst recession in decades and in centuries the pandemic and were having new restrictions introduced on a kind of weekly basis a members having to get to grips with. Their reshuffling for time and resource when it comes to. The end of the transition period the tiny village of murders im in kent is one place where reality is beginning to bite nobody knows do they really whats going to happen i think its very very scary for of even the people i think that voted to leave i dont think they voted for this did they i think nobody knows whats going to happen its very Uncertain Times for putting it on adjacent countryside once earmarked for a new amazon delivery depo the ground is being cleared for a giant truck park so thats got permission for 6 months to park up to one and a half 1000 lorries considering that this site already had permission for development so youve got to look at the reality rather than we wish nothing. Its a bit like wishing to happen if you put a face the reality and the reality is we dont know what weve got a lot of breaks and support came from villages in the kent countryside here so close to the channel with europe on the other side but apart from the hardest core of brits its supporters the card of the many people who imagined this for years on Greenbelt Land being churned up to park thousands of trucks as they wait to complete complicated customs forms made all the worse if node trade. Is reached with. Much less at a time like this is a very scary time of the thing as we are in a pandemic as well i think it is an added. Politics of trumped pandemic so far there are just weeks left to reach a deal and have it approved by National Parliaments in the e. U. And the u. K. By the end of the year join a whole aljazeera in cant. The u. S. Justice Department Says google may need to be broken up as it filed the competition lawsuit against the company the claim alleges the firm used as its market power to preserve a monopoly of research and advertising its the most aggressive u. S. Legal challenge to attack companies dominance in more than 2 decades well the complaint says billions of dollars are paid to phone manufacturers carriers and browsers to keep google as their default Search Engine the california based firm says the lawsuit is the plea floor that says people use it because they want to not because theyre forced to well about 80 percent of u. S. Search queries are completed using google owned or controlled search Distribution Channels globally about 90 percent of all search requests are handled by the google flagship Search Engine the market value of google is about one trillion dollars about 3 times what it was valued in 2012 when at last face to close on to trust scrutiny in the u. S. Larry magid is the c. E. O. Of connect safely dot org he explains possible arguments in defense of googles position. I think one argument that they might make is to go back to 2000 im sorry go back in 1998 when microsoft with on the hot seat for very similar charges and i remember specifically bill gates speaking of congress saying you know some other company could come along and unseat us and indeed that very year a to graduate students from stanford were in a garage here in palo alto building google which actually did overshadow microsoft when it came to the internet so i suspect thats the argument theyll make and i suspect the qana argument will be made that google controlled the entire android platform it dominate search and that it promotes its own products and it makes it difficult for other companies to compete either with search or with internet advertising theres a lot of both a legal and a political war going on between washington and Silicon Valley but this is a very specific lawsuit issued by the Justice Department claiming google is exercising monopoly power over search and over internet advertising so there is probably by partisan support for this battle i mean the Trump Administration has their gripes against google but so do democrats so i suspect this will be vigorously prosecuted and even if joe biden were to win the election i wouldnt be surprised if his Justice Department continued to suit.

C. Workers found the cab to on the side of a hill is used by tourists for viewing the lines. Before this design was drawn on the side of a fairly rocky hill on the nascar plane it was basically made by forming lines of about 30. 00 to 40. 00 centimeters which outline the figure and parts like the eyes in the mouth were formed by piling up rocks like you would. If it was in the process of disappearing because its on the side of a hill and is more than 2000 years old also the erosion was very strong so its basically allowed it to remain hidden for many years we hadnt been able to see it during all this time.
